It's that time...to show you my January finish for ALYOF

My Januaary goal was to take one set of the blocks and make a quilt top.

If I still had time I was going to work on the second set of blocks...

a woman can change her mind right??

My flimsy was finished and I couldn't wait to see it quilted so...

I loaded the flimsy onto Lizzy.

...with 5 days to go I'm hoping I can have the quilt bound
and have a finish!! I can do this!!

I had been working on some redwork projects that travelled to
the Road to California Quilt Show.
There was a Redwork Exhibit using Bird Brain Designs.
If you have been following my blog you will know
I love to embroider...
I started stitching in October and finished 4 projects...

2 message boards,

a 4 seasons wall hanging

I called it "I Love All Seasons"

I've changed my mind...I love only 3 seasons...I can do without winter!!
I called this quilt "Santa is Coming to Your House"
All the embroidery patterns are available at Bird Brain Designs.

I quilted it with snowflakes....it was easier than I thought it would be
and am quilting the Snowmen and Reindeer quilt with snowflakes too.

I'll be posting again on Friday....hopefully I will have
the Snowmen and Reindeer quilt bound...
and a few more finishes to share.

I remembered when you showed us these awhile ago. I loved them then and now,WOW!!!I wish I could have found these??? What b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l work you do... I love the chalkboard one....I have some of that material. Will look for a stitching piece for the top......

Wonderful projects!! The snowmen and reindeer blocks look great in your quilt top. Great selection of fabrics, too. And I love the pattern you have chosen to quilt it. It is perfect for the big, red Santa quilt, too. Love all the red in that one. And of course redwork is so perfect for Santa.All the redwork projects that have gone to Road To California are wonderful. They look so festive. Now tell me if the photo of the one with four panels taken in front of the window with snow outside was taken at your home? Brrrr....I was also thoroughly enjoying all the projects in your header. Lovely work.
